Fort William War Memorial - pictures

World War I

Links from names go to either CWGC or TWGPP page where there is more information and possibly a photograph of the headstone if on the TWGPP site.  Many cannot be found because no names show with the correct rank, initial and regiment.  Sometimes the places in the record don’t seem right but the person could have had a Fort William connection even though not born locally.
